ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In "I’m Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness" by Austin Channing Brown, the author recounts her experiences as a Black woman navigating predominantly white spaces in America. From her childhood to her professional life, she confronts the subtle and overt ways in which whiteness is centered and Blackness is marginalized. The memoir explores the author's journey to understand and love her Black identity, even as she faces the constant challenges of racism, microaggressions, and the pressure to assimilate. Brown's narrative examines themes of racial identity, white fragility, systemic injustice, and the search for authentic community, while also demonstrating how she has learned to use her voice and embrace creative anger.
